### Editing the 3DxWare Configuration File

1. Start the PC-DMIS or PC-DMIS Planner (previously known as Inspection Planner) application.

2. Open the 3Dconnexion Control Panel by double-clicking the 3DxWare icon located on your system tray.

3Dconnexion Properties dialog box

1. See if the Application drop-down list in the top-center of the 3Dconnexion Properties dialog box contains an entry for something like "WAI Applications".

2. If "WAI Applications" is available, then select it as the current configuration, and follow the information in the topic "Assigning Functions to Buttons on 3Dconnexion 3D Mouse Devices". Otherwise, continue with this procedure.

3. If "WAI Applications" is not available, and you only see "Any Application", select File | Save As and save the name of the "Any Application" configuration to "My PC-DMIS", "PC-DMIS Planner", "WAI Applications", or whatever you like. This configuration will be used by PC-DMIS and PC-DMIS Planner to define the rotation speed and other settings.

4. Close the 3Dconnexion Properties dialog box.

3. Close your PC-DMIS or PC-DMIS Planner application.

4. Navigate to this directory, where <user> is your Windows user name:

C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\profiles

5. Using a text editor (such as Microsoft WordPad or Notepad), edit the most recent "user??.scg" file (for example, user00.scg).

6. In the "[IDENTIFICATION]" section of this file, verify this is the file you just saved by comparing the "APPLICATION_NAME" to what you entered in step 2c above. Note that a comma might be preceded by a backslash (\).

[IDENTIFICATION]

APPLICATION_NAME = "My PC-DMIS\, PC-DMIS Planner"

7. In the "[CONFIGURATION]" section, edit the "APP_CONTROLS_BUTTONS" and "EXECUTABLES" values to enable them for use with either the PC-DMIS or PC-DMIS Planner executable.

[CONFIGURATION]

APP_CONTROLS_BUTTONS = TRUE

EXECUTABLES = { "PCDLRN.exe", "InspectionPlanner.exe" }

8. As you can see, the above "EXECUTABLES" indicates that this configuration file will be used by both PC-DMIS and PC-DMIS Planner.

9. Save and close the file.

10. You can now map custom functions to your device's buttons by following the information in the "Assigning Functions to Buttons on 3Dconnexion 3D Mouse Devices" topic.
